VOX TO VOX

"The Vox this morning about the new TV reality show featuring the tow truck operators, I'm not sure which one you're watching, there are several, but if you notice on a couple of them there's a good bit of agitation that goes on by the tow truck drivers when it's not necessary; anything for ratings these days."

POLITICIANS

"The highest gas prices we have ever had in this country was in 2008, I believe at $4.11. The Bush administration could not do anything about it just like the Obama administration can do very little to bring down gas prices, either. They just don't have the leverage or the ability to do so. It's up to other sources and beyond their control. So please remember that when you think that it's the fault of either administration that gas prices are so high."

"Nancy Pelosi is worth $35 million. That's up 62 percent from what she was worth in 2010. How could that be? All the politicians seem to increase their wealth tremendously and it cannot be coming from their salaries. It just doesn't add up."

Editor's note: Just as we thought. We're in the wrong career field.

"Coming soon to theatres near you: 'Summer of Recovery: The Sequel.' Not as memorable as the original, which brought us great laugh-lines like 'Shovel-ready jobs.' Critics predict a flop but say it will be better than the third of the trilogy - 'Failed Policies of the Past,' due to be released next year."

Editor's note: Who's got the popcorn?

"For you failed-policies-of-the past Voxers, consider this: under those failed policies we had 5 percent unemployment, not 9; $2 a gallon gasoline, not what it is now; little or no inflation; we didn't have a $14 trillion dollar debt; and we weren't killing civilians in Libya. Oh, how I pine for the failed policies of the past."

"Did President Obama say he wanted to create jobs or the opposite? Perhaps we need to stop listening to what President Obama says and instead look at what President Obama does."

"Here are the facts, folks. This administration has spent over a billion of your tax dollars killing people in Libya. These deaths have included innocent civilians and the people we are supposedly supporting and protecting. And all of this has been done without Congressional approval. If this was a Republican administration, the anti-war left would be going haywire but so far not a peep. Shame on you."

"While it's true that the last occupant of the White House was an idiot and a foolish man, we did give that Republican eight years to prove it with his bone-headed policies and horrible leadership. Now we have a man in the White House with a brain. He is repairing the mess made by Bush. It's working. As an example, instead of losing 600,000 jobs a month, we are gaining jobs month after month. After President Obama's eight years are completed, history and result will then judge his brilliance."

"Fast and furious, the latest black eye in U.S. law enforcement history, under Obama's watch. That's what happens when you put a man who has community organizing experience in the White House."

"Can someone please explain to me why the taxpayers are footing the bill for Michelle Obama, her daughters, her niece and nephew, and her mom to go to South Africa?"

"We made a big mistake when we put Obama in as president. He messed up the country big time. I can't wait until the election and we can get a real president in the White House."

BLUFFTON

"Regarding Andrea Malloy's letter praising Lisa Sulka. I don't understand that. The mayor's the one who sets the agenda and clearly the Graves proposal was not ready to be heard in public. It should have been put on the Internet or the proposal should have been more well thought out before it hit the agenda."

NBC

"The Peacock struts its feathers during the televised U.S. Open golf tournament. The NBC big wigs edited out the words 'under God' and 'indivisible,' from the pledge of the allegiance. What audacity is this? Is their version of 'change you can believe in?'"

MISCELLANEOUS

"What is the deal with the Bluffton and Buckwalter parkways. No one is taking care of the medians or mowing anymore, edging or nothing. I haven't seen the Brinkman trucks out here in a long time. Anyone have any idea on what's going n out here."

"I wish they would tidy up the medians around town. They're really getting unsightly."

"Hello. This is Keith calling for 'I purchased a ceiling fan.' I can install your fan. Call 610-914-2000. Thank you."

"The Obama's administration's decision to drop deportation proceedings against non-violent illegal aliens shows a profound disrespect to 22 million American and legal immigrants who want to find jobs. For the sake of all Americans I expect President Obama to allow ICE to do its job and allow it to arrest and deport all illegal aliens. ..."

"I am sick and tired of ignorant people using the race card (inaudible) to bash the tea party. The tea party is a grass roots movement that came together because of actions in the past of both parties. Our core principles are fiscal responsibility, following the Constitution, and free markets. We don't care if you're black, white, Hispanic or any other race or creed. We don't care if you are a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent. We simply care that you follow our core principles. We are all Americans that care about this county and future generations."

"Your comment 'little government is required' is a joke in the face of our nation's history of slavery and discrimination. Just like

Michele Bachmann's stance that the EPA should be eliminated is a joke in the face of our nation's history of pollution."
